Hi! I want to play Wii games and I'm thinking to buy a laptop with an i5-3337U and a GT740M. The screen is 1366x768, so that resolution will be the max, but i don't care if the game have to run at lower resolution. Should be enought the i5 and the 740M? The laptop is an ASUS S56CB, by the way.
Laptop for Dolphin

This processor will be too slow for a lot of games.
Which games are you planning to play?

I know that the grafic card is powerful enought to play in 2x internal resolution, but the i5... I mean, i don't care if the game looks horrible and with all ths things off, but I want that the games will be playlable. 06-30-2013, 11:05 PM

I saw some post and see that the 3337U is better than the 480M, so an user said that better CPUs than a 480M can run Dolphin well. As I said, 1xIR and everything off...
Quote:so an user said that better CPUs than a 480M can run Dolphin wellI wouldn't say it like that if I remembered correctly .You might mistake my point . I think I would say "most games run well , demanding games are out of the question " or sth like that I'm sure even an i7 4700MQ will not be able to run Super Mario Galaxy + LLE full speed all the time With latest Dolphin (being slower than previous version) , I don't think i7 3517U could stand a chance .You may SSBB full speed but the rest (games you mentioned above) won't run at full speed , not even close For all demanding games , I highly recommend i5 4670k/i7 4770k @ 4.0->4.2GHz (overclocked) or equivalent CPUs Edit : Oops , I thought you would buy an i7 3517U , not i5 3337U . i5 3337U is slower than i5 480M Quote:The laptop is an ASUS S56CBToo expensive ... You can get Lenovo gaming series Y410P (i7 4700MQ + Nvidia GT 750M GDDR5) for 800$ (amazon.com) Laptop: Mini PC :: 07-01-2013, 12:13 AM

Quote: See benchmarks. The 3337U wins in single and multicore operationsDo you know why it has lower rank than i3 390M (which is slower than i5 480M)? i5 3337U is indeed better at benchmark (on-paper) . However, this is depending on the cooling and power consumption of the laptop , not all i5 3337U have the same performance Notebookcheck also explained this before , ultra low voltage CPU is hard to predict its performance . This is the reason why they list i5 3337U's rank lower than i3 390M Quote:Even with lower possible settings?Graphic stuffs = GPU job Lower resolution will not help at all unless your GPU bottleneck CPU Buy Lenovo y410P instead Laptop: Mini PC :: 07-01-2013, 06:39 AM
Thanks for reply! So, GC will run perfect, great! The frequency, BTW, can reach 2.5Ghz in the two cores, and I choose the ASUS because has a great cooling system and never reach 50ºC in full load.
